a game you probably can't understand unless you were born before 1995
It's a fucking isometric racer that plays well but when this shit came out the soundtrack was lost on most kids. Not many 12 year olds knew "Radar Love" or "Paranoid".What else is not to understand?
>>11634426Does the classic blizzard general rate this game?
>>11634430i mean metal including classic metal was big among millennial children, the same way zoomers seem to revere music from the 90s
>>11634430>t's a fucking isometric racer that plays well but when this shit came out the soundtrack was lost on most kids.>Not many 12 year olds knew "Radar Love" or "Paranoid".>What else is not to understand?Anyone that saw an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from back in the day knew what Bad to the Bone was.
>>11634426Which game was your favorite, /vr/?I think Biker Mice was more fun and looked far better, but RRR was better for multiplayer cus it was more balanced with all characters being almost the same, Vinnie was OP as fuck in Biker Mice
>>11634597i never played it but i remember the toys, pretty early 90s toy kino
>>11634597Another fun thing about RRR was trying to hit people with missiles from across the map, specially if you're winning and turn back at the finish line to shoot before crossing the line
>the licensed music has no vocals>the announcer has 9001 lines of vocals
>>11634597Modo can still put up a good fight against Vinnie if he manages to crush him every time he tries to overtake him. Which is going to happen a lot.
>>11634426If you can't understand this game then you might be retarded.
>>11634450>metal including classic metal was big among millennial children, the same way zoomers seem to revere music from the 90sNot at all. The 90s had grunge, alternative, hard rock and metal thriving. Kids (myself included) did not have to look to previous generations for hard music as it was flourishing. As a fan of Metallica and shit like that I was aware of Sabbath and older metal bands but no teenager was revering 70s metal when we had so many current metal bands that were active and getting play on radio and Mtv.I've noticed the gen Z phenomena of many of them wearing Nirvana shirts and being into Limp bizkit/Slipnot and late 90s alternative/nu metal and even remarked to my friends that there was no equivalent for us. No 15 year old in 1998 was rocking a Doors or Jefferson Airplane t-shirt. The metal/hard rock scene isn't as prevalent now as it was in the 90s, it exists but it's nothing like the 90s so young kids are looking to that era because the current music scene sucks ass and metal isn't promoted like it was. >>11634571I knew it from Christine but no 90s teenager was hyped to hear a George Thorogood song in a videogame. It was mostly like "Oh hey I heard that in a movie once, that's cool I guess". Video game devs were adults, this is one of those cases of them doing something they liked and catering to an older demo, not much caring whether kids would love it or not. In terms of the soundtrack anyway. The game is straightforward enough anyone can play it.
>>11634426Loved this game as a kid
>>11635394>>11634430I don't think it was meant to be so literal, it's more like, "only 30 year olds will look at this game and think "hell yeah""
>>11635394not him but i'm 33 and every kid in my school worshipped queen and the beatles
>>11635835Being an early millennial I forget that I am of the same generation that were children when 9/11 occurred. I dunno man, being a teenager in the 1990s everyone loved rap or grunge/alt/metal or pop, everything current to that decade and what was recent. The only time we heard Queen or the Beatles was out of our parents stereos.
>>11636124Yeah, Queen and Clapton was what my parents listened to. I thought it was good, but never listened to it on my own.
>>11635394>Not at all. The 90s had grunge, alternative, hard rock and metal thriving. Kids (myself included) did not have to look to previous generations for hard music as it was flourishing. As a fan of Metallica and shit like that I was aware of Sabbath and older metal bands but no teenager was revering 70s metal when we had so many current metal bands that were active and getting play on radio and Mtv.Not to my knowledgeI was born in 1989, grunge was gay by the time I was 12-16 and getting into music, metal made a comeback via nu-metal, but nu-metal was already hated by real goths, and real metalheads, and oldschool bands were cool againThis is why in the 00s Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, etc were back to making big money on festivals in the US after being bankrupt through the 90s during the grunge era, which I thank fuckingly missed out on, cause grunge stinks and Iron Maiden t-shirts were cool
>>11635394>I knew it from Christine but no 90s teenager was hyped to hear a George Thorogood song in a videogame. It was mostly like "Oh hey I heard that in a movie once, that's cool I guess".Bad to the Bone was overused back in the day. It was a common clieche to use it in various TV sitcoms... Married with Children loved to use that track for Al Bundy, I know it was used in Family Matters, I think the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire used it, It was used in the movie Lethal Weapon, and Terminator 2, as well as those Problem Child movies, Toyota would use it to advertise their cars. I was 11 years old in 1992 when Rock & Roll Racing came out and I knew the song. The same could be said for the Peter Gunn theme, which was used all over the place. The Blues Brothers for example. Or the game Spy Hunter. I can't tell you how many places 'Born to be Wild' would show up in. Paranoid, very well known track. Radar Love only appeared in the Genesis/ mega Drive version of Rock and Roll Racing. It was never in the SNES game. https://youtu.be/8w8IjwQLNxQ

>>11636470Your reading comprehension isn't the best is it lad?I was talking about the 90s, not the 2000s.The game in the OP was released in the 1990s. You were in diapers when this game came out, your opinion counts for very little. Maybe you should fuck off back to /v/.
>>11636686Metallica were no longer a metal band in the 90s. did you take too much ketamine or something back in the day?
THE STAGE IS SETTHE GREEN FLAG DROPS
